Default Re: OT: Game Theory/Statistics

It is true that you couldn't have a maximum stack smaller than 10 unless you did not use all your tokens.

However, that is irrelevant to the proof.
The point being that if your maximum stack is any natural number at all, a random opponent will sometimes beat you no matter what you do.

In fact, if you allow a negative number of tokens in a box, it still works.
